Each perch is individually sprung and calibrated to collapse when approximately 2 oz. or more rests on the perch

The heavy metal cap fits snugly on the tube to prevent squirrels from lifting it to reach the seed

The 4-3/4″ x 17″ long clear feeder tube makes the seed visible to the birds, a proven advantage. Made of UV Stabilized Polycarbonate, it ensures long lasting durability. Its length and girth are designed to prevent squirrels from reaching the seed ports

With a large 5 lb. capacity, you don’t need to refill your feeder every day

An internal baffle design keeps seed flowing freely to the ports

Metal cap and feeder base are powder coated in a rich burgundy that complements any yard or garden

Hungry birds will adapt as best they can to the conditions in order to survive and larger birds will sometimes hang onto the collapsed perch and continue to feed. It is uncomfortable for them and difficult so it discourages them but might not be the ultimate preventative.

The ingenious Yankee Dipper Bird Feeder is a member of the Yankee Family of squirrel-proof feeders from Droll Yankees.

The Yankee Dipper Bird Feeder has specially calibrated weight sensitive perches that collapse under the weight of a squirrel to save your bird seed. The 17″ long clear, UV stabilized feeder tube has a large 5 lb. seed capacity and the heavy duty metal components will hold up to the elements while resisting squirrel damage. The feeder tube is protected on top by the tightly fitting metal cap that cannot be lifted by invasive squirrels. The cap and base are powder coated in a beautiful burgundy that compliments any backyard and will not chip or fade with use. Backed by the Droll Yankees Lifetime Warranty against squirrel damage.

Feeding wild birds is one of the best ways to impact the world around you. The simple act of putting out a bird feeder and keeping it clean and full can greatly improve the chances that birds and their offspring will survive. Many backyard bird watchers believe that birds only benefit from feeders during certain times of the year. However, birds actually have a year-round need for reliable, steady food sources.

Feeding SunflowerSeeds: A favorite of almost every backyard feeder bird. They have easy to crack, thin shells and can be offered in a wide variety of feeder types, like platform, tube, and hopper feeders. These seeds also have a high fat content that is perfect for giving birds energy all year long, especially in winter.

Please! For the sake of the birds, keep your feeder clean! Dirty feeders spread disease. Soak all parts in a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. Use a Droll Yankees Bird Feeder Brush to brush away grime inside the tube.

I love this bird feeder and have had it for 3 years now. All the birds love it and fight over the perches as I get so many birds. The seed stays dry and no issues with clogging. You may get an occasional bigger bird such as a blue jay but overall no issues. I have just started getting red squirrels finding a way to hang on and eat but have emailed Droll Yankee for some tips to get them off.

Contacted Droll, 4 replacement springs were promptly shipped. I replaced the broken springs in no time and with no difficulty. The new springs provided have less tension to help cut down on the larger bird problem. Very satisfied with the service…
